Sear the Beef: Add the beef stew meat and season with onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Sauté for 3-5 minutes until the beef is seared on all sides, creating a flavorful crust.
Step 3: Simmer with Soup and Broth
Simmer with Soup and Broth: Pour in the French onion soup and beef broth. Bring to a simmer, then let the beef cook on low for 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
Step 4: Cook the Noodles
Cook the Noodles: Add the egg noodles to the pot and continue to simmer for an additional 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the noodles are tender and have absorbed the broth.
Step 5: Add Dairy
Add Dairy: Remove the pot from heat. Stir in the sour cream and Parmesan cheese until well combined, creating a creamy, rich sauce.
Step 6: Serve
Serve: Sprinkle with French fried onions before serving for a delicious, crunchy topping.
